Iowa State lost the Cy-Hawk game 16-13 to Iowa, but the Cyclones showed plenty of reasons for optimism in their first major test under Jimmy Rogers.

Jacqueline Cordova, Jake Remsburg, Jirehl Brock and Colin Newell break down Iowa State's heartbreaking loss in Iowa City and explain why the Cyclones may have been better than expected.

The crew dives into Iowa State's impressive performance at the line of scrimmage, the offensive line's improvement from Week 1, Iowa State's defense holding Iowa under 100 rushing yards, and the costly second-half penalties that ultimately made the difference.

They also discuss Jaylen Raynor's performance, the need to get more out of his legs and the passing game, Aiden Flora's impressive night, Iowa State's emerging playmakers, the defensive front, and what the Cyclones need to improve before Big 12 play.

Plus, the crew takes a closer look at Jimmy Rogers' leadership, the identity he is establishing at Iowa State, and why the Cyclones' physical style could make them a tough matchup throughout the Big 12.
